PLAE Shoes x Minions
Oh no, the Minions took over PLAE’s shoe factory and started making accessories!
I worked closely with the team at Illumination to create a collection of tab designs, then designed and coordinated PLAE’s marketing campaign to tell the story of this limited-edition release.

Putting imagination at the center of our marketing
Rather than launching this collection as a typical licensed promotion, we told a story of how these mischievous characters took over our factory and made the collection themselves.

MINION MADE™
The final collection of tabs use the Minions artwork library, bundled with existing PLAE bestselling styles and merchandised as gender neutral.
